IPY-CFL Ice Beacon Data

Ice beacons are used to monitor sea ice motion, which is an important element in mass balance calculations, ice thermodynamic modeling, ice management and ecosystem studies. During the IPY-CFL project a total of 22 ice beacons were launched in Franklin Bay from November 2007 to May 2008. Measured pa...

Description
Summary:Ice beacons are used to monitor sea ice motion, which is an important element in mass balance calculations, ice thermodynamic modeling, ice management and ecosystem studies. During the IPY-CFL project a total of 22 ice beacons were launched in Franklin Bay from November 2007 to May 2008. Measured parameters include latitude, longitude, speed and direction.
